The Indus Valley script, known as the Harappan script, is yet to be deciphered, so it is unknown if it contained an "A" character.
The British wanted to add Indus valley to their empire for two main reasons:-The region was fertile and populated, so there were profits to be made.If they controlled Indus valley, they could easily block any further Russian advance into Afghanistan.They conquered Indus valley in 1838
The Indus River Valley Civilization is a Theocracy government and a Theocracy is run by a priest so there government and religion were combined.
The Indus valley people left because the were having lots of invasion, they left their home so in 1500 BC they were forgotten.
The cities in the Indus Valley were very clean because of the meticulous way they were built in. The city's sanitation and waste water technologies had substantially developed.
The reason why the Indus Valley Civilization vanished is still unknown. Not many artefacts have been found to let us gain insight into their culture. Their writing was also mostly in Sanskrit, which no one can translate in this day and age.
